I watched it; entertaining. My only thought was, at the end - we failed
...or rather, deterence did...and as such there was no point in launching (as said by one of the senior Mil figures in the room).

If this was for real, would it really be so measured? If we knew London was about to disappear under a mushroom cloud, why would we not just "let 'em have it".

If we acted as per the programme (ie, no retaliatory strike) that would only serve to make the Russian regime stronger?

If we struck back, they may well not be around to have that opportunity?

Programme was quite well done, but the way it ended did leave me thinking that there was a subliminal message from the lefty-beeb that deterence doesn't work.
